superior picture quality: 800 TV lines of high horizontal
resolution, high sensitivity of F8 at 2,000 lx, an excellent
signal-to-noise ratio of 62 dB (DXC-390) or 61 dB (DXC-

The adoption of the LSI digital signal processing
technology reproduces a finer, more detailed picture.
DynaLatitude processing enables you to adjust contrast
finely according to the luminance signal level of each

Overview
The DCC+ (Dynamic Contrast Control plus) function
minimizes the phenomena whereby the whole screen turns
white or a part of the image becomes colorless when
shooting a very bright object.
The Partial Enhance function enables you to adjust the
sharpness and tint of only a specified color.
Wide Range of Exposure Control
The AGC (Auto Gain Control) function and CCD IRIS
TM3)
function automatically adjust a wide range of incoming light
levels. When the lighting condition is poor, the AGC
function automatically increases the gain up to 16 times.
When incoming light is excessive, the CCD IRIS function
automatically adjusts shutter speed to cut exposure to the

RS-232C interface
The camera can be controlled from a computer via the RS-
232C interface.
For details, contact your authorized Sony dealer.
Compact and lightweight
The camera is compact (56 × 50 × 128 mm (2

/
4
× 2 × 5
1
/
8
inches)) and very light (approx. 370 g (13 oz)), allowing
easy installation even where space is a problem.
Following are some sample applications:
As a permanent fixture in theaters, concert halls, etc.
As a bird’s-eye view camera for special events
As a video conference system camera
As a camera for microscopes
As a rooftop weather-monitoring camera
As a laboratory monitor camera
equivalent of up to 10 aperture stops. When using the video
camera in a fixed location or for a microscope system, the
AGC, CCD IRIS and auto-iris controls automatically adjust
a wide range of incoming light levels. The desired AE
window can be set by using the AE AREA MANUAL
function.
Wide range of electronic shutter modes
The wide range of speeds for the electronic shutter
minimizes blurring in fast-moving objects and produces
acceptably bright still images of objects shot in poor light.
Flickerless mode: This mode allows you to obtain
flickerless images shot even under fluorescent light.
Clear scan mode: This mode reduces horizontal bands
appearing in computer displays when shooting the display
with the conventional video camera.
Versatile use with external equipment
The video camera is equipped with three types of outputs:
composite, Y/C and RGB outputs. The camera offers a
high-quality picture on a connected monitor or VCR.
The camera can be remotely controlled with the RM-C950
remote control unit (not supplied).

2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 sec.
To set the speed, display OFF by pressing the
B
and
b
buttons simultaneously, then select the
desired value by pressing the
b
button. Each press
changes the speed in the order as shown above.
High-speed mode: FL (flickerless), 1/125, 1/250,
1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000, 1/20000,
1/40000, 1/100000
To set the speed, display OFF by pressing the
B
and
b
buttons simultaneously, then select the
desired value by pressing the
B
button. Each press
changes the speed in the order as shown above.
When using the camera in a 50 Hz lighting area
(DXC-390) or in a 60 Hz lighting area (DXC-390P),
the FL setting offers flickerless images even under
fluorescent light.
Selection
VARIABLE
Function
Use for fine adjustment of the video output level in
long exposure mode (low-speed mode) or in clear
scan mode (high-speed mode).
Long exposure mode
You can set the SPEED value in units of 1 frame.
For example, if you set to 50 frames (about 1.7
seconds), the video signal produced during this set
time is output in the form of one complete frame at
intervals of about 1.7 seconds. These pictures,
which contain 50 frames of video information, are
much brighter than normal one-frame images. This
mode is useful for shooting a poorly illuminated
object in a dark place.
To set the shutter speed
1Display OFF by pressing the
B
and
b
buttons
simultaneously.
2 Select the SPEED value by pressing the
b
button. Each time you press the button, the value
changes in units of 1 frame.
To convert the value into the shutter speed
Example: When the value is set to 5 frames
5 × 1/30 = 0.1666 seconds (DXC-390)
5 × 1/25 = 0.2000 seconds (DXC-390P)
Notes
Do not use AGC, CCD-IRIS, ATW, DCC+ and
DYNALATITUDE functions in long exposure
mode.
When you set the shutter speed to 1 second or
higher, set the gain level to 0 dB.

CCD-IRIS
(Continued)
Function
For example, this function is useful for microscope
applications. When shooting with a microscope not
equipped with the auto-iris lens, the luminance level
that is just right for the human eye is often too bright
for the video camera.
When CCD-IRIS is selected, the electronic shutter
automatically decreases excessive incident light to
an appropriate level for the video camera. This
function is also useful for cutting out excessive
incident light that is not cut out by the auto-iris lens
in scenes containing very bright patches (such as
snow, or sea water reflecting sunlight).
You can select the highest limit value of the variable
range of the shutter speed. Select LIMIT, then set
the speed to 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000,
1/10000, 1/20000,1/40000 or 1/100000.
Note
You cannot use CCD-IRIS mode when using a lens
that automatically adjusts the iris control according
to the video signal input.

Function
Clear scan mode
You can set the shutter speed in units of 1H
(horizontal scanning time: 63.56 µs for DXC-390,
64.00 µs for DXC-390P).
Select SPEED, then select the value from 1/525H to
262/525H (DXC-390) or 1/625H to 312/625H (DXC-
390P). This mode can be used for shooting
computer displays with reduced horizontal bands
appearing across the display screen.
To set the shutter speed
1Display OFF by pressing the
B
and
b
buttons
simultaneously.
2Select the SPEED value by pressing the
b
button
while observing the noise on the monitor screen
so that you can obtain the image with minimum
noise. Each time you press the button, the value
changes in units of 1H.
To convert the value into the shutter speed
Example: When the value is set to 250H
DXC-390:
250 × 63.56 µs (1H) + 34.9 µs (constant)
= 15924.9 µs = Approx. 0.016 seconds
DXC-390P:
250 × 64.00 µs (1H) + 35.0 µs (constant)
= 16035.0 µs = Approx. 0.016 seconds
Automatically adjusts the luminance level for
